## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will the Ruger LC9 fit in this holster?**
A: It's obviously not designed for it, but my brothers LC9 fits pretty darn good in my shield'a holster.

**Q: Do they make this holster for the s&w shield .45? or will the .45 fit in this holster? i have both the 9mm and .45 in the shields.**
A: I don't know. I have the 9mm but I assume the 45 is the same width as the 9mm. I would definitely check that out before buying, look at a couple of other sites and maybe call DeSantis. It's a great holster, very comfortable

**Q: Can this be worn farther up your leg, closer to the knee?  (With the optional support strap).**
A: I don't use the support strap (not needed for me) but I would think it would help to move it farther up the leg. The problem I see is accessing the gun. You would have to pull your pants legs way high, unless you're a female and are thinking about wearing the rig under a long dress.

**Q: Is there one made for a glock 42**
A: Yes, DeSantis makes a Die Hard for the 42. This specific one is for the S&W Shield.

    Great holster for EDC
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2021*

I have several holsters from IWB and ankle carry. I was trying an alien ankle holster and actually had a gun almost come out. This one fits great, the padding really makes for a comfortable carry compared to others that I’ve tried. The snap is great for securing the gun as you move around and is easy it to get into to get your gun. The only complaint I would have is that after repeated use on a range day when I kept hitting it with my thumb over and over the snap tore my fingernail. After I did that I just quit snapping it on the range every time if I practiced ankle draw for any extended time.

    I highly recommend this item and company
  

*by E***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2014*

Product summary:Extremely high quality.  I bought for the S&W Shield and it fits both the handgun and my leg great.  Leather, fabric and stitching are all fantastic. Gun retention is perfection.My experience:I normally use waist holster (IWB), but purchased this for situations where I am unable to conceal on my waist.  Have found I use this product about 2-3 times a week, which is more than I planned.  In my experience ankle carry does take a while to get used to.  I suggest wearing around house without round in chamber until comfortable.  Also may want to consider another closely weighted item like extra mag ankle pouche or perhaps some ankle wallet or other item for opposite leg if using for extended periods (8+ hours) on feet.  Also suggest practice drawing and reseating safely if you can.Only known issue:The only issue I have had is on long drives it can slide from side to back of leg.  But easy enough to adjust before exiting vehicle and without exposing.DeSantis as a brand:This is the first DeSantis product I ever purchased.  Was nervous and unsure, but they were the only company that had configuration I was looking for.  Now they will be one of the few manufacturers I look to first.  Anybody who has gone through several holsters before discovering you spent two or three times as much as the final holster that worked, can appreciate the fact that DeSantis makes high quality well fitting products.  Their products indicate a serious effort to meet their customer use cases.  If you live in warmer parts of country and need carry options, this is a great place to start.

    Good holster
  

*by O***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2020*

I have a Galco Ankle Glove for a J-frame revolver but it cost twice as much as the DeSantis.  The Galco seems a little better design/execution, but probably not twice as good.  The DeSantis is a good holster, although little things I liked better about the Galco, such as the Galco has a Velcro attachment that wraps from the back over the front part, which makes it easier to secure than the DeSantis.  The DeSantis secures by wrapping the front portion over the back, which is a little harder to line up, in my opinion. It also has an extended bit of thin Velcro that I ended up trimming to a more rounded profile (very easy to do with scissors), as the square profile hook portion was the same width as the loop portion it attached to, making it where you have to line it up exactly, which is a pain.  I did not have the problems with chafing from tags/d-rings that other reviewers had.  They apparently fixed these problems.  The holsters are very similar, and the DeSantis is definitely a quality rig.  It does the job and is fairly inexpensive.  If you were to see them side by side they are very similar in design and the Galco may be just a tad nicer, but not much.  All in all a good holster for the money.  I wish they made one exactly the same but with a Kydex holster, to make it even thinner, and this could also preclude the use of a retaining strap.  Galco makes one, but it's kind of bulky, which defeats the purpose.
